On Sunday, London became a football town, with Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets having a chance at a game-winning drive against the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

But Stephon Gilmore intercepted Rodgers with the Jets in the red zone and the Vikings held on for a 23-17 win and move to 5-0.

It was a mixed performance for the Vikings, who started the game strong but could not keep things going on offense in the second quarter. Rodgers, meanwhile, had a rough start but gained more steam as the game went on, rallying the Jets to within one score in the fourth quarter before throwing the late pick.

It came down to one final drive for the Jets, who had more than two minutes to tie the game with a touchdown. But Gilmore had another idea, handing Rodgers his third interception with a massive, game-sealing pick.

Pete Alonso hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off closer Devin Williams in the ninth inning and the New York Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Thursday night to win their NL Wild Card Series.

The ninth-inning comeback continued New York’s storybook season. The Mets were 22-33 in late May but played as well as anyone in baseball the rest of the regular season. They didn’t clinch a playoff berth until they scored all their runs in the final two innings of an 8-7 victory over Atlanta in the opening game of a doubleheader Monday, the day after the regular season was supposed to end.

With their latest thrilling comeback in the decisive Game 3 against Milwaukee, the Mets advanced in the playoffs for the first time since winning the 2015 National League pennant. They move on to a best-of-five Division Series beginning Saturday in Philadelphia against the NL East champion Phillies.

It will be the first postseason meeting between the longtime rivals.

With their split of Monday’s doubleheader over the Braves, the Mets are in the playoffs for the second time in three years. After a brief 24 hour respite, the Mets return to Milwaukee and the not so friendly confines of American Family Field to play the Brewers in a three-game Wild Card series. 

The games air on ESPN. Broadcasting the game will be Jon Sciambi, Doug Glanville, and Jesse Rogers. The game will also available on the ESPN app and on ESPN+. 

The Mets’ usual television home, SNY, will feature extensive pre and post-game shows before and after each playoff game. 

The Mets’ home radio broadcast will be anchored by Howie Rose, alongside Keith Raad, with Pat McCarthy doing pre and post-game coverage on 880 AM locally and via the Audacy app through the Audacy Mets Radio Network.

On a gray, rainy Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium, the New York Jets failed to reach the end zone and lost to the Denver Broncos, 10-9. That moved both teams to 2-2 on the season.

Somehow, the Broncos escaped with a win, despite setting Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers up for a game-winning drive in the final moments.

The Broncos jumped up by a point after a Wil Lutz field goal midway through the fourth quarter. Rodgers and the Jets had plenty of chances after that to retake the lead and win the game, but every single time they came up short.

Rodgers nearly got the Jets there, but after an incomplete pass on third down, the Jets had to try for a 50-yard attempt from kicker Greg Zuerlein that missed. 

Rodgers went 24-of-42 for 225 yards in the loss. It was the fifth time in Rodgers’ career that his offense failed to score a touchdown in a game. Braelon Allen led New York on the ground with 34 rushing yards, and Mike Williams had 67 yards on four catches. Allen Lazard added 58 yards on five grabs.

Though they got the win, the Broncos’ offense struggled all day. Quarterback Bo Nix went 12-of-25 for 60 yards. Nix threw the game’s lone touchdown in the third quarter when he found Courtland Sutton for an 8-yard score. Sutton had 60 yards on three catches. Javonte Williams added 77 yards on the ground.

There was a sense of relief in the Dallas Cowboys locker room after a hard-fought victory over the New York Giants. The Cowboys beat the Giants 20-15.

The two-game losing streak was over and those who have been criticizing Dallas (2-2) and coach Mike McCarthy and predicting a disappointing season had been quieted for one night. The Cowboys were back to being the Cowboys, a good offense and a solid defense.

Dak Prescott threw one of his two touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys beat the Giants for the seventh straight time.

What hurt New York was its inability to run against Dallas which held the Giants to 26 yards on 24 carries, a 1.1-yard average.

“I would say we’ve got to do a better job in the run game, and that starts with me,” coach Brian Daboll said. “But we tried a variety of things, we couldn’t really get much going.”

Daniel Jones’ arm kept this one close. He completed 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards, finding sensational rookie Malik Nabers 12 times for 115 yards and Wan’Dale Robinson 11 times for 71 yards. But the one thing he could not find was the end zone.

Things are looking up for Charlotte Flair after her severe injuries have kept her away from action. 

The top star continues documenting her journey to returning to in-ring action on social media. She is focused on getting back to performing in front of fans as soon as possible.

Flair has been sidelined since she tore her ACL, MCL, and meniscus in December on WWE SmackDown in a match with Asuka. The nasty moment happened as Flair did a spot in the corner, seemingly twisted when falling, and immediately grabbed her knee.

After the surgery, she has been rehabbing and documenting her progress. Flair recently took to her Instagram Story to share in-ring training footage from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL, which gave fans hope about her return.

The former WWE Women’s Champion’s current timetable for return is November. 

The game started with a nightmare 11 seconds for the New York Giants. Fumble on the opening kickoff. Touchdown on the first offensive play for the Cleveland Browns. But the shock did wake up the Giants who eventually beat the Browns 21-15.

Daniel Jones and Malik Nabers hooked up with a pair of touchdown connections, and Dexter Lawrence and a dominant effort from the defensive front took over in the second half.

The Giants (1-2) now head home on a short week for a prime time game against the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night. But the resolve they showed with head coach Brian Daboll’s third season teetering on the edge of a cliff right out of the gates was impressive  to say the least.

Nabers finished with eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns. Jones completed 24-of-34 for 236 yards and those two scoring strikes. The Giants had eight sacks, including two for Lawrence, and that is their most since 2014 when another rookie receiver named Odell Beckham Jr. carried them on the way to the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year.

The New York Jets rolled to their second victory of the season on Thursday night against the New England Patriots, 24-3. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers impressed in his return to MetLife Stadium, throwing two touchdowns in the first half, with the crowd chanting his name.

Simply put, it was vintage Rodgers, whose second Jets home opener was a lot more joyous than the first.

This time, Rodgers dazzled the MetLife Stadium crowd with uncanny accuracy and an array of off-platform throws, passing for 281 yards and two touchdowns in the Jets’ second straight win.

The Jets began the season with Super Bowl aspirations. When Rodgers plays like this, all things seem possible in the Jets’ universe.

While Rodgers made it look easy for the Jets, it was a tractor pull for quarterback Jacoby Brissett and the Patriots, whose four first downs in the first half were the fewest the franchise has had in a half since 2000. The Patriots had 40 yards of offense in the first half, as they were outgained by 212 yards in the first 30 minutes.

The New York Yankees took care of business on Wednesday night by clinching a postseason berth with a 2-1, 10-inning win over the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park.

After missing out on last year’s playoffs following a miserable 82-80 season, the Yankees (89-63) marked Wednesday’s accomplishment with a raucous champagne and beer celebration in the visiting clubhouse, all while keeping an eye on their next goal of wrapping up the AL East.

With their ninth win in the last 12 games — secured by Anthony Rizzo’s RBI double in the top of the 10th inning and Ian Hamilton closing it out in the bottom of the frame — the Yankees trimmed their magic number to clinch the division to six games.

“We believe in each other, that’s what makes me think we can go all the way because we believe in each other,” Juan Soto said. “We don’t try to be the hero out there, we just try to do our job and try to win games for the team.”
